Antique sterling silver sauce boat made in London in 1823 by William Galloway

About the Item

An exquisite example of early 19th-century English silverware, this sterling silver sauce boat was hallmarked in London in 1823 and crafted by the highly regarded silversmith William Galloway. Designed with graceful curves, a scalloped rim, and bold shell feet, it perfectly embodies the refined craftsmanship of the Georgian period. The scroll handle features classical detailing, enhancing its timeless elegance and practical usability. Of particular note is the finely engraved armorial crest, depicting a griffin’s head erased holding a key — a powerful symbol often associated with guardianship, strength, and security. This heraldic device is believed to be associated with the Hodgson family of northern England, adding historical depth and genealogical interest to the piece. This piece makes a sophisticated addition to any dining table or silver collection and is ideal for collectors, stylists, or interior designers seeking period authenticity and understated grandeur. Its blend of aesthetic appeal and historical character ensures it will be equally at home in a curated antique display or used as a luxurious serving piece in refined entertaining settings. A true Georgian treasure, rich with charm and provenance. The gravy boat measures 4.75"(11.5cm) tall, by 8.5"(21.5cm) from handle to lip, by 4.75"(11.5cm) deep, and weighs 14.6 troy ounces.
